    Geology and Ecology of Taiwan Prehistory

    2°3 2 Geology and Ecology of Taiwan Prehistory C. C. LIN National Taiwan University QUATERNARY SYSTEM IN TAIWAN Quaternary formations are scattered on Taiwan island and its satellite islets and can be grouped into three classes according to their origins and morphologies; (a) terrestrial facies; (b) marine facies; and (c) igneous and pyroclastic rocks. Among these, the terrestrial facies which is largely confined to the interior of Taiwan island and its coastal terraces and river banks, is composed of gravels, peats, lateritic soils, sands, and muds. The Huoyenshan conglomerates of the T'ouk'oshan group of the Lower Pleistocene is an exception, however; this is distributed among the hills of western Taiwan to form a peculiar badland topography. Among the marine facies, the T'unghsiao formation of the T'ouk'oshan group is distributed in the hill and terrace area of western Taiwan, on the Pescadores, and in the Taiting coastal range of eastern Taiwan. Later marine facies are located on the coasts of the main island of Taiwan and various islets nearby. The Quaternary igneous rocks arid pyroclastic rocks are found on or in the Pescadores, the Tat'un and the Keelung volcanic groups, Ts'aolingshan near Tahsi, Chienshan near Hengch'un, and the Agincort, Crag, Pinnacle, Kuishan, and Small Botel Tobago islets. QUATERNARY SUBDIVISIONS The correlation of the Quaternary formations on Taiwan is indicated by Table I. Accordingly, the Quaternary of Taiwan can be subdivided as follows: B. Holocene Epoch A. Pleistocene Epoch 2. Peipinian Age 5. Milunian Age b. Anp'ingian Subage 4. T'ainanian Age a.

    Yangmingshan National Park Is Located in the North of Beitou. Yangmingshan Was Called Tsaoshan (Grass Mountain) During Japanese

    Yangmingshan National Park is located in the north of Beitou. Yangmingshan was called Tsaoshan (Grass Mountain) during Japanese occupation of Taiwan, because it was covered with grass and seldom visited. After World War II, the KMT government renamed the mountain Yang Ming Shan and built a park here. Yangmingshan National Park is the only park in Taiwan that has volcanic geography and hot springs. It is next to Sha Mao Shan and Chi Hsing Shan with Ta Tun Shan on the right and Kuan Yin Shan in front. The magnificent mountainous scenery and comfortable weather have made Yangmingshan National Park a perfect summer resort. Total area of the park is 125 hectares, designed in traditional Chinese style. The natural beauty of the part has won it the reputation as urban forest and the Taipei garden Historical Background Shei-Pa National Park was established In 1992, located at the border of Hsinchu, Miaoli and Taichung. It faces Guyan Shan and Le Shan in the north, Dajia River in the east, Beikeng Shan and Siaosyue Shan in the west and Yuluowei Shan and Dajia River in the south. Total area of the park is 76,850 hectares.Shei-Pa National Park is the fifth national park of Taiwan. The mountainous scenery is spectacular as there are several mountains in the park. The mountains are of different heights and the drop height reaches 3000 meters. The highest mountain is the Shei Mountain, 3,886 meters in height and it is the second highest mountain in Taiwan. The Shei Mountain, Yu Shan, Nanhu Da Shan, Siouguluan Shan and Beidawu Shan are the five highest mountains in Taiwan.

    On Sustainable Use of Renewable Resources in Protected Areas As an Instrument of Biodiversity Conservation: a Bioeconomic Analysis“

    On Sustainable Use of Renewable Resources in Protected Areas as an Instrument of Biodiversity Conservation: A Bioeconomic Analysis INAUGURAL-DISSERTATION zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg vorgelegt von Hsing-Sheng Tai aus Taiwan Mai 2002 Eidesstattliche Erklärung Hiermit erkläre ich, Hsing-Sheng Tai, daß meine bei dem Promotionsausschuß der Wirtschaftswissenshaftlichen Fakultät der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg eingereichte Dissertation mit dem Thema: „On sustainable use of renewable resources in protected areas as an instrument of biodiversity conservation: a bioeconomic analysis“: 1. von mir selbständig angefertigt wurde und andere Quellen und Hilfsmittel als die angegebenen nicht benutzt wurden, 2. daß die Dissertation weder in dieser noch in einer anderen Form einer anderen Fakultät vorgelegt worden ist, 3. daß die Dissertation weder als Ganzes noch Teile daraus anderweitig als Prüfungsarbeit bei einer akademischen oder Staatsprüfung verwendet worden ist und 4. daß von mir keine, von einer anderen Prüfungsbehörde zurückgewiesene Dissertation oder in einem sonstigen Prüfungsverfahren als Prüfungsteil verwendete Arbeit vorgelegt worden ist. Hualien, Taiwan, im Mai 2002 Abstract The objective of this dissertation is to provide a theoretical framework for answering the question, whether and under which biological and socio-economic conditions the sustainable use of wild species in or around protected areas is an adequate strategy for biodiversity conservation. To do this, the dynamic interaction between the use of wild species, management of protected areas, population levels of the utilized species and poaching is investigated. A nonlinear bioeconomic model with two state variables (resource stock, management capital stock) and two control variables (harvest rate, investment rate) is developed on the basis of the traditional bioeconomic model and optimal control theory.

    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals Secretariat provided by the United Nations Environment Programme 14 th MEETING OF THE CMS SCIENTIFIC COUNCIL Bonn, Germany, 14-17 March 2007 CMS/ScC14/Doc.16 Agenda item 5.1 PROGRESS REPORT ON THE INTERNATIONAL ACTION PLANS FOR THE CONSERVATION OF THE BLACK-FACED SPOONBILL ( PLATALEA MINOR ), SPOON-BILLED SANDPIPER ( EURYNORHYNCHUS PYGMEUS ), AND CHINESE CRESTED-TERN ( STERNA BERNSTEINI ) (Prepared by Mr. Simba Chan, BirdLife International Asia Division) I. Progress to March 2007 1. Preparation of the International Action Plans (IAP) for Black-faced Spoonbill, Chinese Crested-tern and Spoon-billed Sandpiper was unofficially started in late 2004, when BirdLife International Asia Division contacted experts on these species for their involvement in drafting the IAPs. As BirdLife International and its partners in Asia have been involved in conservation activities of Black-faced Spoonbill and Chinese Crested-tern, we believe it is best to have these two species IAP coordinated under BirdLife International Asia Division. On the IAP for Spoon- billed Sandpiper, BirdLife International approached the Shorebird Network of the Asia- Australasian Flyway for cooperation. They recommended Dr Christoph Zöckler, a Spoon-billed Sandpiper expert, to be the coordinator. BirdLife International had discussed with Dr Zöckler several times since 2004 and finally signed an agreement regarding the IAP after signing the Letter of Agreement with the CMS in early 2006. Black-faced Spoonbill Platalea minor 2. Drafting of the IAP for Black-faced Spoonbill goes on smoothly, with four working meetings between compilers who represent all major range countries (Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China including the island of Taiwan and the Hong Kong Special Administration Region) and workshop and symposia held in Tokyo, Tainan (Taiwan), Hong Kong and Ganghwa (South Korea): Tokyo, Japan : 2-6 October 2005 Meeting during the BirdLife Asia Council Meeting and a workshop at the Korea University, Tokyo.

    Developments in Tourism Climatology – A. Matzarakis, C. R. de Freitas, D. Scott, 2007 BIOCLIMATE AND TOURISM POTENTIAL IN NATIONAL PARKS OF TAIWAN T.-P. Lin1 and A. Matzarakis2 1Department of Leisure Planning, National Formosa University, 632 Yunlin, Taiwan 2Meteorological Institute, University of Freiburg, D-79085 Freiburg, Germany [email protected] (Tzu-Ping Lin) ABSTRACT Possible changes in global climate will affect tourism, as most tourism takes place outdoors. The research presented here analyzes single climatological parameters such as air temperature and rain. It also includes an analysis of thermal comfort conditions in four National Parks in Taiwan. The analysis is based not only on mean values of parameters and factors but also on frequencies of classes of individual climatological parameters and thermal comfort factors based on the division of 10-day intervals and an analysis of extreme events, which are important for tourism. The temporal-spatial distribution and mobility of tourists is also discussed based on the climatological parameters in order to present the potential of tourism in each National Parks in Taiwan KEYWORDS: Tourism Climatology, Physiologically Equivalent Temperature, National Parks Taiwan INTRODUCTION Previous studies reveal that weather and climate are important factors for tourism decision making (Lin et al., 2006, Hamilton and Lau, 2005, de Freitas, 2003, Matzarakis et al., 2004). In order to evaluate the suitability of climate for tourism, several climate-tourism indices were employed in past research (Murray, 1972, Rackliffe, 1965, Davies, 1968, Yapp and Mc Donald, 1978, Mieczkowski, 1985). However, some important issues still need to be clarified with regards to the practical aspect of tourism-climate information.
